[wrongfeifong]

Sorry, i am not sure if this is the right place to post, but could someone verify that? my mcafee pickup a trojan on index.html on hxxp://www.ffxi- altas .com

i tried to go there and trojan detected twice. I am sure somepeople here use the altas as well, since it is quite handy.

I got the same thing once from the real atlas page. >.> Refreshed the page, didn't even retype the url, and didn't get it that time. Haven't gotten it since. /shrug

Apparently this was a real issue.

The website was under attack by hackers -__- we're currently trying to fix everything that was changed. Most of the files should be repaired except for the forum now.

Kailea: You do realize how many people they get every day, right? Do you realize that, even if it only lasts a week, and only half of their visitors aren't secure, they could still get a ton of FFXI accounts, or better yet a botnet? There's a lot of incentive to distribute viruses in pretty much any way possible.

So i was right, of course those first 3 who reply the message couldn't see that i did a typo on the link and obvious they are being jerks there. The thread is locked as soon i return and trying to reply as well.

Just so you know, this happen before in another MMORPG, and one of those trojan allow the hacker to Keylog information (passwords and key), which mean your account will be stolen. Don't complain when your character is found deleted.

So i was right

You weren't right if you did go to the wrong address as you indicated. The thread was rightfully closed based on the information you presented.

Re: ffxi-altas virus detected?

You know, if you get keylogged, you have alot more to worry about then a silly online game. But, then again, it depends on how much you use your gaming computer for personal stuff (I don't do business on my gaming rig, I have a laptop that I do business/school work on).

Seriously, do you just enjoy arguement or starting one?

No, the first 3 poster was saying that, but the last few people (mods) understand what i mean and they did look into it. The problem was they found nothing when they reach the site (one of them did, then it did not reoccur).

Beside posting something like this tarnish other's website reputation, it is wise to lock the threat right away.
